No question, trips to Hawaii Volcanos National Park are hot, a don't miss detour for those hoping to get a closer look at some explosive action or enjoy photo ops with smouldering lava.
Step back in time to a sanctuary of Hawaii's past where traditional Hawaiian lifestyle is preserved. Ancient temples and ki'i (wooden images) whisper stories from the past. This place provided refuge to Hawaiians who came here. Today, the park continues as a sanctuary for visitors seeking a peaceful place and as a safe haven for all of the native wildlife living here.
